I came home and they said do clear for ONE more day then you can go to whole liquids. I tracked time from there.

My doctor included right after surgery as week one. Week one for me was Clear Liquids and a Protein drink a day. Week 2 was full liquids and puree Soups plus Protein. It depends on what your doctor says. If they give you instructions, that trumps what anyone else tells you.. My doctor's office gave me a very detailed pre and post-op diet book. It had food for each week through week 8. I wrote the date each week started to make sure I didn't move ahead by accident. I still have two more groups to go. I get additional items at 3 months and 6 months.

Good luck to you in your journey.

What are the items you don't get until 3 and 6 months?

At three months I can have trail mix, nuts and citrus fruits

At six months I get beef, steak, pork and alcohol in moderate amounts

I will be in the hospital 2 days after surgery. My first week diet begins the day I am released from the hospital. I can only have clear liquids that first week. Then I go to full liquids for 2 weeks, which also includes thinner yogurt drinks, etc.

Every doc is different, so make sure you follow his/her instructions.
